Mic 6:16 | MHM | STEP | v. 16 : The people are also guilty of idolatry, following the evil ways of Omri and Ahab, who led Israel to worship idols (1 Kings 16:26, 31 ). Even though many years have passed, the people are still doing the same wrong things. God says He will make them a desolation and a hissing , which means their land will be ruined and other nations will mock them. Their former honor as God’s people will now become a reason for shame (Ezekiel 36:20 ). If people who claim to follow God ruin themselves by sin, their fall is even more shameful.

‏ Micah 6:16

v. 16: The people are also guilty of idolatry, following the evil ways of Omri and Ahab, who led Israel to worship idols (1 Kings 16:26, 31 ^a). Even though many years have passed, the people are still doing the same wrong things. God says He will make them a desolation and a hissing, which means their land will be ruined and other nations will mock them. Their former honor as God’s people will now become a reason for shame (Ezekiel 36:20 ^b). If people who claim to follow God ruin themselves by sin, their fall is even more shameful.
